Huang Quan is a native of Langzhong, Brazil. He belongs to the native lineage of Bashu and is also one of the powerful figures in Yizhou. The number one senior official, but in terms of strength, Huang Quan is still weaker than Wu Yi and Zhang Ren.

After returning to the mansion, Huang Quan locked himself in the study. He hastily wrote a secret letter, summoned one of his confidants, handed the letter to him, and carefully instructed: "You can go to Yedu quickly and send this letter Hand it over to Prime Minister Cao and tell him that I will try my best to prevent Liu Jing from taking Bashu from the west."

"Master, don't worry, I will remember the humble job!"

Huang Quan was still a little worried, Zhang Song's fate was ahead, and he repeatedly warned his confidants, "Be careful on the road, and if you find anything abnormal, destroy the letter immediately, and don't let the letter fall into anyone's hands."

The confidant's family left in a hurry, and Huang Quan walked back and forth in the room restlessly. Naturally, he was one of Cao Cao's forces in Yizhou. Huang Quan himself had no relationship with Cao Cao, but belonged to Yizhou The pro-Cao faction.

After a series of changes happened in Jingzhou, Huang Quan realized that Yizhou was in danger, and he also began to think about his future. At this moment, Cao Cao secretly sent someone to find him, and promised him a noble title. Let Huang Quan try his best to prevent Liu Jing from entering Shu.

Of course, Huang Quan also knew that Liu Jing's real goal was Bashu. Although Liu Jing kept saying that he wanted to seek Hanzhong and seize Guanzhong, it would be really strange if Liu Jing didn't take such a fertile land like Bashu.

So how to keep Liu Jing out of the Bashu gate and fulfill the great trust entrusted to him by Cao Cao is something Huang Quan has been thinking about repeatedly.

Huang Quan thought about it, but with his own strength, he was still a little weak and had to find an ally. Thinking of this, Huang Quan immediately ordered: "Prepare the car and go to Mr. Wei's mansion!"

Mr. Wei is Liu Wei, the second son of Liu Zhang, who has a very good relationship with Huang Quan. Mr. Wei is about 25 or [-] years old. He is only one year younger than his elder brother Liu Xun, but it is this age gap that makes him lose his inheritance of Yizhou pastoral care. This opportunity became a pain in Liu Wei's heart.

Liu Wei looks very similar to his elder brother Liu Xun, but his personality is quite different. Liu Xun is good at courting officials, is a prudent person, and can listen to other people's opinions.

But Liu Wei is tolerant and ruthless. He is low-key and silent, and never expresses his opinions on major issues, but this does not mean that he does not participate in major events in Yizhou. He likes to cast cold arrows from behind.

Liu Wei leaked the secret to Zhang Lu in Hanzhong this time. Like his elder brother Liu Xun, he also tried his best to destroy the cooperation between his father Liu Zhang and Liu Jing. He did not hesitate to leak this news to Zhang Lu, which eventually led to Zhang Lu's surprise attack on Shangyong.

But for Liu Wei, preventing Liu Jing from advancing westward was not his main goal. His biggest dream was to replace his elder brother and become the Lord of Yizhou in the future. For this reason, he also secretly established his own power.

Liu Wei's wife, Yong, is the daughter of Yong Kai, the prefect of Jianning County. It is because of this marriage relationship that he has obtained the southern powers such as Yong Kai, the prefect of Jianning; support.

This is also Liu Wei's greatest reliance. He is ready. Once his father's situation is not good, he will immediately ask Yong Kai's army to go north to help him seize the power of Yizhou.

Liu Wei was not surprised by Huang Quan's visit tonight. Today Liu Jing's envoy Sima Yi came again, and Huang Quan would definitely come to him.

In the room, Liu Wei listened to Huang Quan's persuasion without saying a word, "I have persuaded Zhou Mu to send troops to Hanzhong. As a result, there will be no troops in Shuzhong. I am very worried that Liu Jing will take the opportunity to attack Badong. I was wondering if I could ask your father-in-law to send troops to Berkshire to participate in the fight against the Jingzhou army."

Liu Wei sneered after a long time, "It's too late, don't let my father-in-law deal with Liu Jing's army, what's the benefit? They don't have any benefit, so why are they willing to send troops?"

"Of course there are benefits!"

Huang Quan smiled lightly and said, "I will persuade the imperial court to support you as the shepherd of Yizhou, how about it?"

Liu Wei's eyes lit up, and he watched Huang Quan closely, "Don't drive Huang, could it be that you have something to do with Cao Cao?"

"Hehe! I have nothing to do with him. He is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and I am Yizhou Biejia. I am his subject. That's all. Don't think too much, Young Master Wei."

How could Liu Wei believe it? He shook his head, "There is a saying in Sichuan that Qian Mo talks about killing pigs. If you want me to help you persuade your father-in-law to send troops, it's okay, but how can you guarantee your promise? Huang Gong, it's not me." I don't believe you, but you promised me three years ago that you would support me in Dengyizhou Mu, but you have done nothing in the past three years, but my brother is getting more and more attention from my father. To be honest, I am very disappointed in you !” [

Huang Quan also knew not to show anything, Liu Wei would not believe what he said, he pondered for a moment, then lowered his voice and said: "Cao Cheng attaches great importance to the affairs of Yizhou, he specially sent someone to find me, Let me do everything possible to prevent Liu Jing from entering Shu, but Bashu is weaker than Jingzhou, if your father-in-law is willing to send troops to stop Liu Jing, I can persuade Prime Minister Cao to support you as heir, no joke."

Liu Wei's eyes narrowed with a smile. Huang Quan really colluded with Cao Cao, but if he had Cao Cao's support, it would be extremely beneficial to him.

"I can give it a try, but I still have one condition."

"Sir, please speak!"

"If my father wants to conquer Hanzhong, I hope Huang Gong can persuade my father to let me lead the army."

Huang Quan laughed complacently, "Today, I persuaded Zhou Mu to agree to Jingzhou's request and let Pang Xi lead the army into Jianping County. In fact, I was trying to win the son a chance in Hanzhong. I am planning this matter step by step."

Liu Wei was overjoyed, if his father agreed with Pang Xi to enter Jianping, he would no longer agree with his elder brother to lead the army to Hanzhong. In this way, his own opportunity came. He got up and bowed deeply, "I will thank Duke Huang for everything!"

Liu Xun did not live with his father Liu Zhang. He started his own house a few years ago and married Pang Xi's daughter. The couple had a deep relationship and had two sons and a daughter. Although Liu Xun tried his best to replace his father-in-law Pang Xi last time Pleading for mercy, but it does not mean that he supports the Dongzhou scholars.

As the eldest son of Liu Zhang, he was thinking about the long-term development of Yizhou, especially his father's appeasement attitude towards Liu Jing made him feel heartbroken. His father was too cowardly, always had a little illusion about Liu Jing, and built his foundation on the benevolence of others. superior.

In the study, Liu Xunzheng was discussing with his staff member Yin Mo how to deal with Liu Jing. Yin Mo was about [-] years old, tall and thin, with a green beard of one foot under his jaw, which gave him a sense of immortality.

He is a well-known scholar in Sichuan. He once worshiped Pang Degong of Jingzhou as his teacher. He was superior in knowledge and intelligence. He was praised by Pang Degong as the No. 1 scholar in Sichuan.

"Young master, do you really think that Liu Jing is going to attack Jingnan?"

Yin Mo sneered and said: "Liu Bei's troops are few and far between, and Jingzhou can send up to [-] troops to wipe them out in one fell swoop, but Liu Jing has [-] troops. This is obviously aimed at Bashu. This is Xiangzhuang's sword dance, which is aimed at Pei Gong ah!"

Liu Xun said worriedly: "I also know that Liu Jing is ambitious and wants to seize Bashu, but my father is coaxed by Liu Jing's sweet words. I really believe that he will let Bashu go and attack Hanzhong. I persuaded my father, but my father still attacked me. Get angry, what should I do now?"

Yin Mo thought for a moment and said, "It's not necessarily true that Liu Jing wants to take Hanzhong. Judging from the agreement he signed with Yizhou to take Hanzhong together, Zhang Lu's capture of Shangyong this time is probably a trap set by Liu Jing. Zhang Lu was fooled, so Liu Jing would be famous if he seized Hanzhong, but Zhang Lu will definitely send heavy troops to fight against the Jingzhou army in the Shangyong area, Hanzhong must be empty at this time, it is really an opportunity to seize Hanzhong."

Speaking of this, Yin Ming suggested: "I think you can lead the army to conquer Hanzhong and turn Hanzhong into your sphere of influence. In this way, you will have the right to speak in Yizhou. What do you think?"

Liu Xun walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and sighed in a low voice: "A strange thing happened today, which makes me a little worried."

"What happened?"

Liu Xun bit his lip and said: "Today Huang Quan tried his best to persuade my father to agree to Jingzhou's request and hand over Jianping County to my father-in-law. , but today he completely changed his attitude, I am a little worried that he has ulterior motives!"

"What does the young master think he means?" Yin Ming asked again.

"Because if my father-in-law leads the army to Jianping County, then my father will not let me lead the army to Hanzhong again. My father is very suspicious. He will not let me have too much military power. I am very worried that my second brother will lead the army in the end. Go to Hanzhong."

Yin Mo was silent for a moment and asked: "It is rumored that the second son raised three thousand dead men in Mianzhu Manor. Is this true or false?"

"This incident should be true, but there is no evidence."

There was silence in the room, and both of them knew in their hearts that Liu Wei had the desire to seize the heir apparent. Once he got the military power, the consequences would be very serious, and under the background of Liu Jing's westward expansion, he could do anything.

At this time, Liu Xun suddenly realized that the Jingzhou army was not his biggest threat, but his own brother. Yizhou had internal and external troubles, and the crisis was imminent.
